I still have a lot of faith in Gomes and Nix. I hope we can find a way to keep them. Hernandez I’m not so sure about. I haven’t checked his numbers, but I don’t recall him being a big help this past year.

Doesn’t look like we have any chance of re-signing Hernandez. Too bad. After going out and getting what many of us thought was our answer at the position, he gets hurt, misses alot of games, and basically now is gone. BTW, does anyone know what happened to Zack Cozart? He was supposed to be in the Rising Stars Game and now isn’t even on the Saquaros roster.

I think johnny was amazing this year. I say a two year contract for 5 million and a team option worth 2.5 million. I also think they should offer Lance nix arbitration. I know hernandez love is here. I think the reds could pull of a two year contract, with a player and team option. Or they can let hernandez go to free up space for hanigan and to get a free agent SS.

V-man, you’ve got the Reds spending a lot of money, keeping Gomes, Nix and even possibly Hernandez. That’s busting the bank to keep the team the same. The question is do we have any money to make the team better? And when do Votto’s and Phillip’s and Bruce’s and Rolen’s contracts come up for renegotiation? Did I read this right: that the Phllies picked up Cliff Lee’s option year for just $9.1 million, less than we pay Harang or Arroyo? Is this possible? The money in baseball is whacked!
